AND HERE ARE THE RESULTS (if this annoys you, you can close out, but I want to share)....
I am 36w5d and am 1cm dilated, 60% effaced and at zero station. I said to the doc, "so, I will probably go to my due date?" and he said, "honestly, I think you're going to go early... How does spending Memorial weekend in the hospital sound?"
OBVIOUSLY that means diddly-squat, but it made me feel good that my body is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing :-)
Go body go!! Get this kid out on your own!
How many of you BTDT Mom's had similiar results around the same time as me (36w) and go early/go late?
Happy Friday peeps!
EDITED: I am 36 weeks, not 37

Woo hoo! Go you!
I'm hoping to hear something like this at my appointment next Thursday. Just that I'm dialated a little bit, even though it doesn't mean much, just to know my body is working! lol

Perfect baby boy born 7/8/13
BFP 8/20/14 EDD 4/27/15 It's a GIRL!!
No PIP? KIDDING!!
My office generally does internals at 38wks and I think I will go along with that. But I agree, even if it doesn't indicate timing it could be reassuring to tangibly realize that your body DOES know what it's doing
Talk about trying to speed up the process!

With DS I was about that dilated at 37 weeks and he was born 2 days early.:-).
This pregnancy I was checked at 35.5 weeks last week and I was 2cm and 60% effaced, but I think that's typical for subsequent pregnancies.
Memorial day would be great!
SO going to PIP my mucus plug.. SO DOING IT! BEWARE!!

*response from a dirty lurker*
With each of my first two pregnancies, internal exams were performed by my ob weekly, beginning at 37 weeks. And in both pregnancies, my progress was virtually identical. 37 weeks- 1cm dilated, 38 weeks- 2cm, 39 weeks- 3cm. My first was borm at 40 weeks exactly, the second at 39 weeks, 6 days.
Good luck! Hang in there!
I'll join your pity party if you don't mind the company. I keep thinking I'm 36 weeks instead of 34.
Awww shucks! Way to ruin the fun Mom!

I definitely feel your pain though... When I was 34 weeks I was bummed that I wasn't 36 weeks (and several other ladies were almost there) but MAN did those two weeks fly by. Hopefully you ladies have some stuff to keep you busy. It will be here before ya know it :-)

You crack me up!
I'll be honest, made me really sad with DD that my body didn't do anything on its own. Like I was high and tight (lol) at my 40 week checkup. I responded great to an induction, but I wish I could have had a chance to experience labor on my own. Wah.
Yay for progress!
And can I ask if the internal hurt at all?
I keep thinking I'm almost 37... noooot so much.
It's funny I was on the other end of this with my DS1. I had an OB appt in the morning, cervix long and CLOSED.. And I went into full blown labor a few hours later. It was an US too so I can't even blame an internal on aggravating things either.
You just never know!

Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
I am the opposite. I keep thinking I am 35 weeks when I am just a couple days shy of 38 weeks!
I will SO take a 4 hour labor at 41.5 weeks instead of a 16hr labor at 37 weeks. I know that sounds weird, but I am cool with that.

Honestly, he stuck a bear paw up my hoo (HAAAAAAA!) and it was quite uncomfortable, but I would say it HURT.. This is how it went...
Bear Paw goes up Vag - Me: GIMME YOUR HAND (to my H)... OWWW. OWWW. OWWWW. (deep breaths and more oww's for 30 seconds). Doc's hand evacuates, and I am back to normal but feeling a little violated.

Haha me too... and he said it all proud, like he was excited for me.
my OB is a woman with small hands so hopefully mine goes smoother!
